Hazlewood to Woakes, no run, Woakes now getting properly in line expecting Hazlewood to target the off stump with a ball angling into him. Defended nicely
43.5
Hazlewood to Woakes, FOUR, this is surely up there for the shot of the day! Difficult shot because Hazlewood got it to swing back in, but Woakes got a stride forward and creamed the cover drive, man at cover got a hand on it but it runs to the boundary
43.4

43.2
Hazlewood to Mark Wood, FOUR, and Wood has started! Short of a length delivery, Wood moves away and flat-bats through mid-on. Miss hit but he finds the gap. Sure he must be doing a "Woohoo" under that helmet that he got a boundary
43.1
Hazlewood to Mark Wood, no run, probing in the channel around off stump, Wood defends towards cover
41.6
Hazlewood to Bairstow, out Bowled!! This was coming! Bairstow has trouble with that incoming ball and with him playing shots and reaching out for the ball, the bowler was always in the game. Hazlewood try to set him up for a big inswinger through the gate, eventually finds a chop on and gets the wicket he deserved for the way he was bowling for the last few minutes. Good length delivery hinting at swinging away and then cutting back in off the seam, Bairstow tries the big drive again and drags it onto his leg stump. Hazlewood was troubling Bairstow and gets his man. Bairstow b Hazlewood 4(14)

39.5
Hazlewood to Bairstow, no run, had Jonny played that it would have been very interesting. This was a proper fast leg spinner literally. Angling in and pitching on good length, moving away quite a bit and Bairstow wears a how did that move so much look. Does a bit of gardening where the ball pitched

15.3
Hazlewood to Root, out Bowled!! That urge of wanting to access third man quite often off the back foot brings about his downfall. This was a slightly back of length delivery that cut back in, too close to play that shot plus it did to move back in off the pitch. Takes the inside edge and unsettles the off stump. Poor shot and Root knows it. Throws his head back in disappointment. Australia have taken three wickets for 11 runs now. England have thrown away a great start. Root b Hazlewood 5(11) [4s-1]
